Header Rise for Focus I

[fishgod at pobox.mtaonline.net]

Now the million dollar question.  Is the 140 going to be enough for the
Focus 1?  It is a toss up between the Mintor 140 and the OS160 on price.  I
have to pinch those pennys this year.  The price for either is a wash with
having to buy a pump and header for the 160.  The place I am looking at the
Mintors includes the header.  I believe that the 160 will be more then
enough power.   I don't want to get something and then be sorry.

Now the question gets much easier to answer. The bigger one works well. The
OS/Mintor version has o-rings on the exhaust stub that give some latitude
in positioning. The (Mintor header being better in my opinion). A MAC
header is  OK but tends to break. This is easily avoided by cutting the
header on the middle of the up line and using another couplers. This is an
old 61 trick that still is good today. The header will be more adjustable
and really can't break with two couplers in the system. I have three years
on one already.

P.S. I don't necessarily "own" all of the stuff that I talk about but I do
often work with close friends who run stuff under my slightly "Stalinistic"
control :-) It has been known for certain players to call me and ask if
they can touch the needle valve... Once I work on an engine I tend to feel
a form of ownership...Evl-1.

Eric,
I am looking at the Mintor 140.  They come with either a 30mm or 60mm rise
header.

It depends upon where the exhaust port is on the engine. The rise is the
difference between the exhaust port position and where the end of the
header pipe finishes up.

Regards,

Eric.

I am picking up a Focus ver. 1 from a local flyer.  I am wondering how much
rise is need on the header?  Is it dependent on the type engine?  Any help
would be much apprciated.
